WC powder was synthesized by a nitridation–carburization method with WO3 prepared by the citrate sol–gel route as the starting material, and the reaction mechanism was investigated. It was found that WO3 was converted to nanosized W2N after the nitridation process in NH3. Then, the W2N was transformed to W metal, W2C, and WC in sequence when it was carburized in CH4–H2 gas mixture. The WC powder obtained possessed a high specific surface area of 24.6 m2/g, and showed a particle size of 20–30 nm, which was much finer than the WC powder prepared by direct carburization of WO3 in CH4–H2 gas mixture. The reason was also discussed.
